Rev. Sanderson pastor of the NJ. L.
church has inaugurated something new.
Instead of holding evening services on
Sunday in the hot church, he holds
them in the burst grove. The first
trial was made Sunday and there was a
large congregation in attendance. A
pulpit and comfortable seats had been
provided under the Elm trees and there
everyone was comfortable. Until fur
Their notice, services will be held IN the
grove regularly every Sunday evening,
commencing promptly at O'Clock. The
grove Is but minutes walk from the
center of town and it is cool and shady
at ali times.
a general and just complaint has
gone up at every entertainment given
in the opera house during the past six
months owing to the very bad system of
seating the audience. When people
buy reserved seats it is but right that
they should be given the seats paid for,
and if their rights are not protected
they would be justified in demanding a
return of their money. And another
thing: A lot of "hoodlums" are per-
mitted to cOngregate in the rear of the
hall and destroy the effect of every en-
tertalnment with their noise. This
should not be permitted. If it contin-
ues, the attendance at home-talent en-
tertainments, especially, will drop off
until it will be impossible to get a
crowd that is willing to be tortured dur
ing an entire evening. Call in the city
marshal or use shot guns.
